Beam

Beam is a minimalist web app for moving content with QR codes, paste links, and file links.

Features

• Share text or links instantly with QR codes.
• Create direct paste URLs for text notes.
• Upload multiple files, with each file up to 50 MB, and share everything with one link.
• Responsive and user-friendly interface.

Usage

Visit the live app at beam.mauriziocarella.it.

1. QR: Type text or paste a link to generate a QR code and a shareable QR URL.
2. Paste: Type a note, attach one or more files, or do both.
3. Share: Create one paste link and open it elsewhere to copy the note or download the files.
